"Together We Rise" - Rabbi Ingber's Sermon
Once again, a biblical hero comes to the rescue. What to do? How to feel in the face of the worst massacre of Jews in the history of our country? Just like Abraham, who buries his wife, finishes crying, and rises up, so Rabbi Ingber urges us to rise together to challenge systems of racism and oppression - to witness each other’s vulnerability and lift each other up.
